WICHITA, Kan. ( KSNW ) – It’s the peak season for deer-involved car crashes, a situation many drivers dread. For one Kansas couple, this became a reality and an unforgettable encounter.
“We were in two different vehicles, driving in two different directions, and we managed to hit the same deer,” Gina Morgan, who was involved in a deer crash, recently told News 2’s sister station, KSNW.
When the deer hit Gina’s car, it was thrown across the road in front of a car traveling in the opposite direction, driven by none other than her husband, Ronnie Morgan.

“When she told me she hit a deer, I’m like, ‘There’s not another chance that there was not the same deer.’ So I was like, ‘Yeah, I hit the same deer,’” said Ronnie.
The couple said the damage to Gina’s vehicle cost $6,000. Ronnie’s car, equipped with a push bar, took a lighter hit.

“I think a deer was running pretty hard when it hit the side of that front left fender because it, I mean, it really…you see in the pictures, it damaged it pretty bad,” said Ronnie.
